Murphy’s Gardens is a friendly “boutique” retail garden center— a greenhouse/nursery and fresh produce farm located one mile off of Hwy 20, on the west side of Galena.

We strive to offer a unique & diverse selection of plants at reasonable prices. While our specialty & passion is perennials & ornamental grasses, we also grow specialty annuals, native plants, water plants, herbs, shrubs & some heirloom vegetable plants. Propagation of most of our plants begins from seed, cutting or division in our 5 greenhouses & numerous field beds. With the exception of shrubs and some annuals, all plants are carefully potted here & all are lovingly pampered by our staff. Sustainable & organic growing methods are implemented as our main method of growing. We believe in growing & testing what we sell, so our perennial display beds feature hundreds of cultivars in various stages of growth. Customers are encouraged to grab a complimentary cup of coffee or lemonade and walk through our acres of beautiful gardens & learn about the habits of the plants available for purchase.

Our staff is passionate about gardening & you will leave here with more than plants. You will leave with practical knowledge & the details about their culture & care. We have Master Gardeners, Landscape Designers and Growers on staff. We know our plants and we’re happy to share our knowledge with you!
